Please make an appointment at least 8 weeks before you travel to ensure that you can complete the full courses of any recommended vaccines. However, it is possible to have some immunisations even at short notice.

Immunisations Our practice nurses are happy to advise you about any immunisations that you should keep up to date. We encourage all patients with chronic medical conditions or aged over 65 to have a vaccination against influenza ('flu) every year. Please make an appointment for one of our Flu Clinics which are held from October to December. We can also provide vaccination against pneumonia.

Child Health Clinic This clinic is held on Thursday afternoons. It provides routine checks and immunisations for children under 5 years of age. This clinic is for well children only - please do not bring your child to the clinic for the treatment of illness or for repeat prescriptions.

Community Services

The District Nurse Service (Tel: 01865 904814)

District Nurses are specially trained to assess nursing need and provide care to patients and their families in their own homes. They care for a wide range of people, including post-operative surgical patients, people with long-term medical problems and palliative care needs. The daytime service is available between 08:00 and 16:30.

The Health Visitor Service (Tel: 01865 264967)

Health Visitors offer antenatal education and post-natal care to mothers as well as care for children under 5. They visit babies 10 - 14 days after birth and thereafter see mother and baby at the Child Health Clinic. They offer parenting advice for children up to 18 years and support or referral for post-natal depression.

Community Midwife Service

A midwife from the John Radcliffe Hospital shares antenatal care with the doctors. She is at the surgery from 08:30 – 17:30 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
